I wish I could enjoy using a crock pot, but try as I might I just can't. Everything always tastes very steamed, or boiled, especially with meat. I would love to use one for than keeping stuff warm, because it's such dead simple cooking.

I guess it depends on what you're trying to cook. I tend to use mine for things like stews and soups, chili, etc. To be honest, I should probably attempt to broaden my repertoire of slow-cooker meals, but never seem to find time. Every time I go to Barnes & Noble I swear a see a new slow-cooker cookbook on the bargain rack, and I keep meaning to pick one up and try some of the recipes, but somehow doing that never quite makes it onto my agenda... sigh
